A persona handle (or username, screen name, or display name) is the identifier you choose for online accounts and platforms, visible to other users in place of your real name. Persona handles allow people to participate in online communities while maintaining some privacy or creating distinct identities for different contexts. Municipal online services and engagement platforms may use persona handles for community forums, allowing residents to participate without revealing full identities while still maintaining accountability through registered accounts. Understanding persona handles helps municipalities design online engagement that balances accessibility, privacy, and the need for authentic community participation.
